Ingredients

• Sweet Mustard Dressing:
• 1 cup (250 mL) milk
• 1/2 cup (125 mL) mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup (125 mL) honey mustard
• 1 tbsp (15 mL) Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil
• 1/2 tsp (2 mL) chopped chives (optional)
• Salad:
• 4 strips bacon
• 8 cups (2 L) salad greens
• 1/2 cup (125 mL) thinly sliced red onion
• 3/4 cup (180 mL) coarsely grated carrot
• 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) diced cooked chicken, turkey or roast beef
• 2 tomatoes, quartered

Preparation

Step 1

Sweet Mustard Dressing:
Whisk together the dressing ingredients and refrigerate until ready to use.

To make salad, cook bacon until crisp. Drain and cut into 1/2 inch (1 cm) pieces; set aside.

In a large bowl, toss salad greens with 1/4 cup (60 mL) of the dressing and transfer to a large platter or 4 to 6 individual plates.

Top salad greens with onion slices, grated carrot, diced chicken, cooked bacon and tomatoes. Drizzle with more dressing.

For the adventurous:
Use your favourite combination of salad greens from spinach to radicchio. Pour dressing over fresh cooked vegetables such as asparagus, broccoli or carrots. Mix 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the dressing with 1/2 cup (125 mL) sour cream for a crudités dip. Keeps in the refrigerator for days.
